Low threshold, high power, vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers

Abstract
By optimising mirror reflectivities, number of quantum wells, and mirror doping, record continuous wave (CW) output power levels and low threshold currents have been achieved. Broad area devices yielded > 12mW CW and > 500mW pulsed, 6 μn devices gave submilliampere threshold currents and output power > 1 mW and 10 μm devices showed output powers > 3mW with a threshold of 1.5mA.
